The Nvidia RTX 4000 ADA SFF is one of my favorite GPUs on the market. Small, incredibly powerful, and with a little modification, the perfect compliment for the Minisforum MS-01. Back in December, I got hold of a custom 1-slot heatsink from https://www.n3rdware.com, and put together the Mini PC of my dreams.
There was just one problem though… Inside the MS-01, the RTX 4000 ADA didn’t have enough airflow, and would thermal throttle in as little as 8 minutes under full load. Today, I’m throwing every trick in the book at the 4000 ADA SFF to see if I can finally bring this 70W beast of a card under control.
